Explain the difference between essential fat and storage fat
What will be an ideal response?
Essential fat is found within tissues such as the muscles, nerve cells, bone marrow, intestines, heart, liver, and lungs. It is needed for normal physiological function. Without it, human health and physical performance deteriorate. Storage fat is the fat stored in adipose tissue, mostly just beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat) and around major organs in the body. This fat serves as an insulator to retain body heat, as an energy substrate for metabolism, and as padding against physical trauma to the body.
